I have to share!! I let a knee issue go too long before i had it replaced. In the meantime my ankle started swelling. I also had had a recent hip replacement and was sleeping in a recliner because my new memory foam bed was too soft and i could nit get out of it in the morning. My ankle was swollen every day, all day long!!
That is where i was two months ago. In the meantime i purchased a new bed that goes up and down to help me get out of it and it has a lovely relaxing vibrator in the top half of the bed.
I also found a cream which had gingko bilboa in it which was for the lymphedema. My ankle was swelling every day and I had literally given up hope that it would be normal again.
I noticed after finally getting used to the new firm bed that my ankle was less swollen. When it did swell I used the gingko cream on it.
Now i am no longer using the cream. I am sleeping iin the bed all night long and my ankle is no longer swollen every day. Yesterday, i was on my feet all day long helping a friend stock her booths in antique stores. No swelling. I am so pleased.
I just had to share.
